Dressing up warm
As promised, just before I go to bed (I have to be up at 8am tomorrow! EIGHT!) here’s a ‘pre-Faroes’ self-portrait. Taken on the weak premise that I wanted to see just how hot my ‘layers’ setup actually is. And then, once the camera started clicking and the sun started setting… Well, you can see the result for yourself.
And I am smiling! Just a little smile, but you can’t see it very clearly. A thoughtful smirk.
(Click for full size, it’s worth it, to check out the hair. Can just about make out my dimple too, actually.)
My sister (who cut my hair) said I look like a mod; a little like Rod Stewart in fact. I think I look like Liam Gallagher. Neither of those options are particularly favourable. Let’s see what 17 days of salty wind does to it…

The perspective makes my eyes hurt, but it looks cool.
Have fun and take care on your travels Mr Stew. Yup new nickname, based purely on the Rod Stewart hair.
Will there be hair-based updates from your travels, culminating in a before-and-after blog post comparison?
July 12th, 2009 at 9:37 pmI think from now on you’ll just get the ‘wind-swept Gallagher’ look. And eventually my hair will get briny enough that it just… sticks up. This fringe looks really bad if I don’t sweep it to the side actually. Thanks, sister…
Did you notice just how BIG I look?
Like, it could easily be a maze, but it’s actually quite a wide road…
July 12th, 2009 at 9:42 pmit’s a pretty nifty picture….
July 12th, 2009 at 10:10 pmYou do look very big, but I did also wonder if you’d just stuck your head on someone else’s body…
July 12th, 2009 at 10:48 pmNo… I am actually 6′5″. Believe it or not…
July 12th, 2009 at 10:53 pmThat is not a smile,or even a smirk. It is a pout!
July 12th, 2009 at 11:12 pmHave a wonderful time honey, and bring me back a puffin please.
xxxx
I don’t believe it, I won’t believe it, I downright *refuse* to believe it!
Ok,
I believe you
July 12th, 2009 at 11:13 pmwhere was this taken?? is this in your garden? it’s a really cool picture. you do look a little mod.. it looks like album art for a solo album
and you have big feet.
July 12th, 2009 at 11:33 pmLOL you SO looklike Liam Gallagher in this pic. I like this before-after picture concept. You should go nack looking like a local!:)
July 13th, 2009 at 12:36 amHave a good time Sebby!
July 13th, 2009 at 1:34 amGah, you look like someone I was JUST looking at, and now I can’t remember who. This will drive me mad….
Also, are those shrubberies about to eat you, or what? Strange camera lens? Please explain! (You know, some time when you’re not chasing puffins!)
July 13th, 2009 at 2:20 amHave a great time! I sure hope you remembered to pack your underwear.
July 13th, 2009 at 5:40 amYou look like you’re trying to be Jesus…again
July 13th, 2009 at 7:35 amI do have big feet! That’s why I like the photo — it actually shows how big (and intimidating?) I actually am. Taken in the driveway, near sunset (very low-angle sun, as you can see it’s only hitting the very tops of the trees).
Anyway! I have arrived safely in the Faroe Islands!
It’s incredibly cute, very cloudy and SO SO SMALL. We just drove across it in 40 minutes.
Photos to follow a bit later I think…
July 13th, 2009 at 5:48 pmOohh love the pic! Great perspective… beautiful background… you do kinda look like Jesus.
July 13th, 2009 at 6:46 pmLook like you are enjoying yourself. It’s good to take trips and go away for a bit.
July 13th, 2009 at 6:51 pmDimple?
Prove it!
July 14th, 2009 at 9:06 amI think you look like Dave Grohl in that photo.
July 14th, 2009 at 3:19 pmIt’s very much an album cover. I dig it, you sasquatch, you.
July 18th, 2009 at 1:08 amNice picture Seb. Very epic. I get the nagging urge to kneel. Not in a dirty way, of course. More in the you look like you need some homage from that pose.
